To access the Create Reduced Database screen:
-
Type 1 in the Option field of the Database Functions screen and press Enter.
-
The Create Reduced Database screen displays.
States on the Create Reduced Database screen display in order of ascending 3-digit ZIP Code ranges (the first 3 digits of the state's inclusive 5-digit ZIP Codes). Every state has a unique range of 3-digit ZIP Codes.
For example, in the screen shown above, all ZIP Codes in Rhode Island either begin 028xx or 029xx. You can use the Opt field to the left of each 3-digit range to include that range in the reduced database.
This screen has two views: the Display All view and the Selected Only view. The Selected Only view displays only the 3-digit ranges you have selected (i.e., states with a "1" in the Opt field). All other 3-digit ranges are eliminated from the display. Press F10 to toggle between the two views.
